The book explores the historical phenomenon where older, 'primitive' artworks are often viewed as morally and aesthetically superior to more contemporary, perceived 'decadent' pieces. It delves into the shifting tastes in visual arts, examining how cultural perceptions influence the value placed on different artistic styles over time. As the last work by the author, it offers a profound analysis of the complexities surrounding artistic appreciation and the biases that shape our understanding of art history.
